What industry and the UK needs to do is train up UK school leavers and young adults for the skills needed like we used to. When my son left school we spent 2 years trying to get him a meaningful apprenticeship before giving up. We even put him through a trade collage for the first year. Companies were not interested as they had an unlimited supply of cheap Eastern European labour that would undercut the locals so why bother spending money on training. Now those same companies are moaning about a potential lack of staff. I hope that UK people will be at the front of the queue for UK jobs and meaningful training. I guess that makes me a hard line ignorant Brexiter
